Private Party•Reviewed on January 28, 2016•From Malvern, PA
Scott was professional, accommodating and talented. He had a great selection of music. Our guests didn't want him to leave. In fact, they asked when he was coming back! We were greatly satisfied.

Wedding•Reviewed on November 9, 2015•From New Castle, DE
We were very happy with Scott, who performed during both our wedding and at the reception afterwards. Scott arrived well ahead of time, played beautifully, and with minimal guidance during our planning did a great job in filling out a playlist, encouraged requests, and just did a great job in general. Scott was very professional, and was a thorough communicator during the planning process. Extremely flexible throughout and easy to work with. If you want someone who will be professional, make sure your guests have a great time, set the proper musical background, and is also very musically talented, look no further. I really can't offer any constructive criticism.

Hotel Event•Reviewed on October 25, 2015•From New York City, NY
Scott was the perfect touch to our recent brunch reception. His song selection was well-received and he accommodated many requests. Prior to the event, Scott was very prompt with information. A true professional! We will definitely reach out to Scott for future events in New York City.

Club Event•Reviewed on September 7, 2015•From Rye, NY
We had a party on the beach with close friends and acquaintances and Scott helped break the ice, which was one of the key reasons we were looking for a musician. We had ages 5-85 all at one party, and Scott was able to play music that everyone enjoyed and related to. We originally booked Scott from 5-7, but we got off to a late start and he graciously said that he would start at 5:30 and play to 7:30 with no extra charge -- and then he played until 8! I would recommend him for any type of gathering where there are from 2-60 guests. And I bet he could amp it up and even master a bigger crowd. Thank you, Scott!

Scott helped make our party a smashing success! He is truly a talented musician and I would love to hear him play again. Scott only took one short break in five plus hours. I am very glad I picked Scott!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 18, 2015•From Holicong, PA
Scott was a wonderful addition to our wedding. In the run-up to the wedding, he was very helpful and professional in guiding us to select the right music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. He also accommodated our special request to back our best man for our first dance, even coming early on our wedding day to practice! He is a talented guitarist with a great voice, and really added to the chill vibe at our cocktail hour. That said, he by no means took over our event; instead, he seamlessly blended right in. We had lots of compliments on his performance from our friends and family. We can't recommend Scott more!

Memorial Service•Reviewed on August 10, 2015•From Bound Brook, NJ
"Scott Samuels is an excellent musician. He was very professional in everything he did for us, from contacting me beforehand and going over everything in detail. He was actually early to the memorial service for my dad, and also played a little bit past the scheduled time. Scott was a nice addition. I would recommend him for your next event." --Brian (memorial service) Bound Brook, NJ 8-1-15

Graduation Party•Reviewed on August 2, 2015•From Scranton, PA
I should have left this review a week ago but we left for a week long vacation after the party. I can't rave enough about Scott's impact on our party. Typical Scranton "drop my check" and stay for 30 minutes graduation party was not what we were after. We truly wanted to entertain and enjoy the company of our neighbors and friends. Scott did an incredible job. He has an extraordinary ability to read the mood of the guests and deliver music that was so in sync with the mood of the party that we had guests there until after 11:30pm enjoying Scott's talents. Scott is so entertaining and talented that I can't believe that he has any open bookings on gig masters.!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 12, 2015•From Berwyn, PA
Scott's voice, and guitar created a warm background for our forty-person outdoor adult birthday party. We had a wide range of ages and musical tastes - Scott's performance delighted them all. He was very accommodating to our needs: we asked him to arrive earlier, he did; we liked his music so much we asked him to stay longer, he did. He has a pleasing stage presence and improvised little riffs when appropriate. We all wholeheartedly appreciated his contribution to our birthday party for my ninety year old mother.

Scott was wonderful to work with and very reliable the day of the wedding. As a planner, it is always helpful when other vendors are responsive before the wedding and on time for set-up the day of the wedding. Scott was both and he provided beautiful music for the ceremony. I would recommend him to any brides or families for other events.

Graduation Party•Reviewed on June 28, 2015•From Phoenixville, PA
We hired Scott to provide entertainment for our son's graduation party. Scott was on time and extremely professional. His repertoire is extensive and offers tremendous variety. Early in the evening he provided wonderful background music for socializing. By the end of the night, he had us all singing arm-in-arm belting the lyrics to American Pie. We look forward to the opportunity to hire Scott again!

Wedding•Reviewed on November 5, 2014•From Philadelphia, PA
We hired Scott for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and we are beyond satisfied with this decision. Scott was professional, easy to work with, and extremely flexible (especially with our last minute rain plan). His repertoire is impressive to say the least, and our guests were truly wowed by his performance. We would highly recommend Scott to those considering a guitarist for their wedding and/or party.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 18, 2014•From Philadelphia, PA
The only reason Scott got all 5's on this review is because there is no number higher. Scott is a musical genius whose professionalism is unmatched. I would recommend Scott to ANYONE who is having ANY type of event from Philadelphia to NYC. Bottom line, I'm about to plan another event just to have Scott come out to play. Words can't express how grateful we are that Scott's musical talents afforded us the opportunity to creatively express ourselves at our wedding. When we watch the recording, we will smile knowing that Scott Samuels provided the score. We literally couldn't be happier with his performance.

Scott showed up on time. Set up was fast
He was very friendly and professional. I
had already chosen a place for scott to play and as soon as he came in he assessed and made some suggestions where it would be a better place to setup and he was right on the money. Everyone came up to me and said how great he was. We even did a little karaoke. Scott played just about every song we throw up to him. He really knows his stuff. I would definitely hire him again

Private Party•Reviewed on August 27, 2014•From Haverford, PA
We hired Scott for an private function.
Although we only contacted him the same day, he was able to fit us in his busy schedule.
Scott arrived on time and was willing to work with our ever changing arrangements
Scott is an extremely talented singer and musician with a great personality, engaging the audience without being over the top.
His music selection offers some for everyone, from classical to contemporary.
Our guests were able to select songs from his very large list and were so taken by the music that some even got-up and started to dance.
I Highly recommend Scott and cannot wait for the next occasion to book him.

Scott is very professional and was easy to work with. We communicated via email and phone and Scott had good suggestions on how to make the event run smoothly. He came on time and was flexible about last minute changes. Scott is very talented on the guitar and all the guests enjoyed his music. During cocktail hour Scott played the guitar and sang songs from his large selection. Guests were able to make selections as well. I highly recommend Scott if you would like a touch of class to your special day. I can't wait to have another party to have him play.

Scott is a real talent and a hero in my book. Our original musician dissappeared 2 days before the wedding and I went online to find someone,..FAST! Scott replied within an hour and he knew the music I wanted and I asked ,saying do you realize this is tommorrow morning. He was calm, and called back later to confirm all details. He was there when we arrived a sang his heart out to everyones delight. I will always have him in mind for the future. THANKS SCOTT !!

Can we give Scott 6 stars? He exceed our expectations on every level. He took the time to talk with us several times before our wedding to make sure everything would be as we wanted. He learned a song not in his reportorie for us. He arrived well before the scheduled time to setup and chat with us. He was professional and kind. A beautiful musician. All of our guests could not stop asking us where we found Scott and what a great job he did. He took all our requests and really made the party great. I cannot wait to book him for our next event!
